Fortnite: Battle Royale has surprisingly introduced a building ban in the new zone Tilted Town, which forced a player to consume a whole PlayStation Store gift card.
Why did someone eat a gift card? The Reddit user and Fortnite fan AuraxisKnight recently ate a gift card for PlayStation in a video. With great effort, he bit and swallowed piece by piece of the tough, reinforced cardboard. But why?
It all started when AuraxisKnight boasted just a day ago that Epic would probably never patch a building ban zone into the game. That would never happen; if it did, he would genuinely consume a whole gift card for PlayStation 4.
But now since update 10.0 that has indeed happened: Epic has actually created a zone with the new location Tilted Town that allows no building or breaking activities. The distinctive feature of Fortnite is at least no longer present here.
Therefore, the Reddit user had to follow through on his words. He approached it so dutifully that he had already consumed parts of the card before he thought of recording it all.
However, the rest of the card consumption made it into the video that we’ve embedded here.

A Man of Action
This is how the community reacts: The thread with the video of the card feast was well received on Reddit. The post received over 4,000 upvotes and tons of comments. Many Reddit users praise AuraxisKnight’s commitment:
- “You are a man of your word! Immediate upvote. You are certainly someone you can rely on.”
- “Now you can not only say that Epic is ruining the health of the game, but also that of its players and the community!”
- “I’m now waiting for the guy who swears to eat his socks if the mech doesn’t disappear by the end of next week!”
- “Respect, bro, you keep your word!”
- “A man of action, respect! Epic, look at what you’ve done to this guy!”
Warning, do not try this at home: With all the respect that the action has evoked, you should still not attempt this. While cardboard is not toxic in itself, consuming printed and treated cards is not healthy.
The building ban zone is alongside the mech a hotly debated topic in Fortnite. However, not everyone finds the building bans terrible:
